- Coronavirus update: OIC of Washington has established specific measures to help protect our employees from exposure to COVID-19 and to curve the potential spread of the virus in customer homes and our facilities across the State of Washington. We are closely following recommendations from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This includes recommendations on social distancing.
